Our monthly open mic night, Smack Dab, is all ages, all genders, all the time, and free.

Our August 21 feature is Neeli Cherkovski:
Neeli Cherkovski is the author of many books of poetry and prose.
His most recent poetry collections are From the Canyon Outward and the limited edition Manila Poems. A selected poems will be published in a German-English edition in Fall, 2013. He is currently completing a memoir of a life in poetry and a new collection of poems, When the Crow and I Are Alone. His papers are housed at the Bancroft Library, UC Berkeley. Cherkovski's biography of Charles Bukowski is the basis for the forthcoming James Franco movie.

If you'd like to perform at the open mic, please come beginning at 7:30pm and bring five minutes of whatever you want to share. Musicians: one song. Prose writers: that's about two and a half double spaced pages of prose. We’re the friendliest open mic you’ll find but we pay attention to time so that nobody accumulates further open mic-related PTSD.
